When surfing I found a new address for online-classes and at once anrolled in a class for mixed media technique. This is the result of the first lesson. Seems I am still not finished with the vintage look.

During our trip to Usedom I made a travel journal - a little bit in preparation for the next great journey we are planning. When being in the States several years ago I stopped journaling after same days. This is something I deeply regret to this day. Especially during such extended trips the impressions you get are so many that you tend to forget quite a lot of them. In the beginning I had some problems with the format - so far I only worked in vertical books. Since my handwriting is very legible I had to do something about that.

We are back from a memorable short trip to Usedom. Memorable insofar as the Baltic sea has been frozen which happened the last time more than 30 years back). I have seen and experienced different kinds of sea on our earth, but this was a first! Now I can imagine how people like Scott or Amundsen must have felt. We however had the choice to just turn back and return to our cosy apartment and drink some hot coffee at any time. I am really crazy about these photos.
